How long does it take for a reheaded zombie to wake up?

Pg 37 right column, 3rd paragraph.
Pg 38 left column, bottom paragraph
38 is certainly a lot scarier than 37. Am I missing some small detail on how these very different amounts of time may apply to subtly different situations?
I'm wondering if maybe authors intended "within one hour" rather than after, on 37?
I'm considering a compromise might be that a zombie comes back to life in the shorter time on 38, but based on 37 saying "rises", maybe it can't figure out how to stand up until 1 hour has passed, and it simply crawls on all fours until then?
- if the head is reattached, the zombie immediately starts to recover SDC and Hit Points, and rises from the dead after one hour.
Pg 38 left column, bottom paragraph
- In the case of reattaching a severed head to a lifeless zombie body, the walking dead comes back to life 1D4+2 melee rounds (45 to 90 seconds) after the head is reattached
